Here’s an excerpt from s short story in progress. Irost is a flower being that carries baby seeds around. Here they’ve found a potential new playmate! #sundaysnips #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompt

Talismans of Sin (Poison and Opium, Act II) is on preorder! Lady Shadow’s plans for conquest are slowly taking shape, meaning more Demons of the Between Realm will awaken. But will she get to offer her blood oath, or can Daisuke and Obito step in first? 🔗: a.co/d/0ckPLCPQ #BookSky #QueerBooks

My ?bullshit tale: No one cares about my characters over there or anything I have to say over here. I’ve heard my actual writing doesn’t suck so it’s gotta be that and it saddens me. (Self-talk brutal-I know better than to do this.) #depression #bipolar *Never have 3 beers even on #effitfriday!*

#fantasy #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WIPSnips #marathon For marathon my best offering is Drisal’s epic ride. Note: Ath’kura are not ordinary horses. They’re Iryla’s. It’s Drisal who’s being overworked! - From Brother’s Keeper, my fantasy WIP about two brothers bound by a misunderstood power.

Today's affirmation: You don’t need a new version of yourself. You just need to trust the one you already are. Remember to relax the space between your ears. And as always, drink your fucking water. #monday #motivation #relax #breathe #water #shadowsparkpublishing #booksky #writesky 📚🪐💙

Struggles at work are ongoing. Lost my job decades ago to mixed #manic problems. Back 10 years now but #bipolar #depression, #paranoia and #anxiety are active threats I constantly manage and balance. #mentalhealth Balancing Bipolar Symptoms With Your Professional Life www.bphope.com/bipolar-diso...

this is an excerpt of what is, at its core, a love story. devotion despite the odds, inspired by familial events. the #WIPSnips word is “fight”, and although this is a tough share because one of my characters is experiencing intense manic paranoia, I think it qualifies. #mentalhealthawareness

Two brothers—one accursed, one gifted—struggle with the Power of an empathic bond unseen for centuries. As Rushak seeks to escape his curse Drisal must wield it as evil arises to threaten the world. But the prophesied Power returns only once, and the Shining One is … somebody else. #WSPit WIPs #F #A

🔹G R A Y L A N D S🔹 A frontier without kings. A failed Chosen One turned drifter. A cursed outlaw in over his head. A demon with a kind heart. #WSPit #P #A #F

All they wanted to do was avert one little war. If only it has been that easy. Instead, they will uncover a plot involving ancient artifacts, petty gods, vanished dragons, and a secret threat to all magic. Can they hope to face the true threat behind it all? #DawnsBlood #WSPit #LGBT #A #W #F

Whispers of a rising threat echo from the far East, and a travelling night circus follows the borderlands like a shadow. Ætheren joins them hoping to disappear… but instead he finds himself drawn into a conflict far greater than he ever meant to face. #WSPit WIPs #W #A #F

“Tend to relationships” is one of the DBT skills I was taught. Tried a couple years ago. No one answered my letters or followed through on plans to meet. Now an old friend’s coming to visit from out of town, & I’m struggling to get the house clean & on the verge of a complete meltdown. #bipolar

#pretendpanel I'm not going to be able to put coherent words on this... I just love how my characters appear and show me their movie, how they choose me as their scribe, how we set off in that passionate, breathless adventure, how we become one in a deep flow state, how words disappear and all the

Today we had a fun ride to the base of a dam. 1300 foot elevation change. Good is Zil and amazing weather for the first week in February! #trailhorse #trailride #horsesky #horse #dam #arabianhorse

Along the way to the dam we ride through some beautiful spaces. This old dirt road is soft for their bare hooves and has patches of snow. The brown oak leaves and mixed conifer greens are such peaceful colors. #horsesky #arabianhorse #trailhorse #trailride #Colorado

This is for you! #caturday #positive #affirmation

I started writing a thing about panic attacks & work & one of the things there is stat flu/covid swabs & then all my repressed rage started flowing & now I’m deep in a trauma-induced rant about the conspiracy theorists who smeared my profession then expected treatment for covid when they got sick.

#WIPSnips "Sixth" from FotF#1, Fight or Flight Looked for an example from the sixth book but found nothing XD Instead, this, which I think I've shared before? AL is forced to contend with some harsh whispers behind their back; one more symptom of the othering that's taking place.
